Note: Limited edition hardback. Cover blurb: “These extraordinary books are like weird, grotesque shadow-versions of the Show we recognise. They are mutations haunting the wilderness between the domed, protected cities of Canonicity. The world of the Annuals is odder, darker, madder, more psychedelic and surreal. These are adventures in a wilder, destabilized universe.

What’s wonderful about this book, is that Paul Magrs loves the Annuals ... he loves them with insight and passion, and yet he’s not afraid to also see them for what they were. Theirs is a strange, parallel world to the television series, full of outrageous concepts and baffling conceits, but Paul navigates it with ease, and channels the love and passion that these books elicited in their owners. No Christmas was complete without the DOCTOR WHO Annual, and Paul makes us realise why ..." — David J. Howe, Telos Publishing |
